Fat piece of humble pie

So once upon a last week I managed to indulge in what I can only describe as a decadent slice of humble pie. All was well and I was gallantly trotting on the high horse which I recently discovered I rode. Long story short an argument ensued sparked by an unexpected outburst from me because of an issue that had been festering in me for some time.

This was most interesting the responses I got ranged from people sounding as though they were in an interview others I wondered if they … Continue reading How do we define ourselves?

Whilst growing up you’re prepared to deal with the world and all the personalities in it. From parents encouraging you to be more accommodating of people different … Continue reading Question: How do we teach each other to live with each other?

New year’s High!

I write this with Marianne Williamson’s poem in mind specifically the first two lines that embody the gist of it. “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure”  With the New Year upon us again hope and goals filled in most conversations these days. I find myself pondering what causes us to lose sight of what our plans are and whether euphoria is simply a part of welcoming a new year. Since the penultimate month of 2011 I began auditing the year’s progress and how close I had come to achieving … Continue reading New year’s High!
